June 1, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

Clamav is a free antivirus nowadays owned by Cisco and developed under the umbrella of the Talos-Intelligence group. Don’t be fooled by the word free, this is serious business.

Abandon Linux. How to export and import FreeBSD Jails ‘a la Docker’

April 15, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

FreeBSD Jails is an awesome tool similar to Docker but much older which allows administrators and developers alike to have several securely contained userland environments sharing one kernel.

How to enable Geolocation in AWStats on FreeBSD 13.0

September 26, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

A few weeks ago, a guide explaining how to install AWStats on FreeBSD was released here in adminbyaccident.com.

May 18, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

It had to happen again. Anyone betting on new hardware vulnerabilities on Intel processors would have won.
